This book is based upon more than two years of ethnographic
fieldwork and personal experiences with the Teetl'it Gwich'in
community in northern Canada. The author provides insight into
Gwich'in understandings of life as well as into historical and
political processes that have taken place in the North. He outlines
the development of an educational approach towards conducting
ethnography and writing anthropological literature, starting with
the premise 'you have to live it'. The book focuses on ways of
knowing and collaboration through learning and being taught by
interlocutors. Building on the work of Tim Ingold, Loovers
investigates the notion of reading life - land, water and weather
as well as texts - and analyses the reading of texts as acts of
conversations or correspondences.
